100% agree with ya 😄😄 They turned out great!!

Take a propane torch to the rim of the glass. After you're done grinding with the Dremel. It makes the rim smooth and more clear. It gets rid of the frosted look from sanding. Try it, works and looks great.👍☮️

Interesting... Idk if i can trust the glass with a torch hough in my hands lol! Sounds like if you heat it up wrong the glass with shock and crack! 😄 I might pass on it but if done right it would probably look sweet!

Great idea! I use a flat lap to get them smooth as it uses wet/dry sand paper. I'd love to figure out how to do the propane torch way...please let me know if you find a video for that. Many thanks!!! Love these videos!!!

@@abacavip6426 I don't know of a video. I figured it out watching a girl blow glass. When she wanted to make a edge smooth she used a torch. I put the bottles in my oven and bring them up slowly to the highest heat. Then I take the propane torch and move it around the rim of the glass. You'll see when it becomes slick and shiny. It removes that frosted look that's nearly impossible to get smooth enough with grinding tools. Hope this helps.👍☮️

@@Adventurous4Life hey friend of mine who runs and all orientations sex positive feminist sex toy store showed a bunch of product called “ Butt plugs” (like, is that the preferred name?) and I realized that is what the insulators most resemble. But they’re made of glass with little chips in them! Like, the worst thing ever! Now, I love them more. When I unpack them in a new apartment, they are going right in the window to catch the light!

I love these! I crazy stupid love these! Some of the ones with interesting, non-cylindrical shapes you suggested were destined to be pencil holders. I don’t have that many pencils. And the lettering is so interesting, why not find a way to make it more visible? Would it work to coat the interior with opaque, solid color epoxy? That way, the lettering would be more legible? They could serve well as planters or vases.

Excellent video ! Hey where my Molded Monday video ? LOL Hey man you got something really going on there ! How much would you charge me to cut and smooth some bottle for me when i have some ? Here another ideal for you, take you a card table or a small table and display some of the bottles you have cut out in front of your home along the road, of course you would have to be around or go out to a major highway or interstate intersection and setup and try to sale some that way maybe passing tourists will stop and buy from you. I know i would.

@Adventurous4Life

2 жыл бұрын

Lol, Moldy Monday will be back next week 😄😄😄 And based on just the time it takes to cut these would be $10-15 for a soda. About an hour or 45 minutes per glass. As for the sales on the side of the road might take a while to sell some lol! But i used to sell them online just closed the shop as I dont have enough time to run the store and work full time!

note of caution breathing glass dust from the belt sander and demmel tool will not be good for your lungs
